When I enter a website in the url the enter key does not work. I have to click on the arrow at the end of the line. Is this a configuration issue?

The enter key does not function in the URL line. If I enter say: www.bing.com and then hit the enter key, nothing happens. I have to click on the arrow at the end of the field in order to activate the link. If I'm anyplace else on any page the enter key works as it should.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

That did it... I went into the themes and disabled one of them and it works fine now... Thank you...

The problem was with the add-on that System Suite 11 Professional (Avanquest Safe Search 10.0.0.1120.) put into my firefox to track malicious links. I'm closing this post.
